Overview: WAX (WAX) the Global Decentralized Marketplace for Virtual Assets. Should you invest?
Overview:
WAX is a decentralized platform that enables anyone to operate a fully functioning virtual marketplace with zero investment in security, infrastructure, or payment processing.
The aim of the WAX Platform as a virtual goods marketplace is to decentralize exchanges while allowing users to purchase goods with a global token making the entire process faster, easier and safer for everyone.
They ran ICO in November when they raised a very significant amount of over $68 million.
Usage:
WAX enables store owners to operate their own virtual item marketplace and can support a variety of selling structures to maximize liquidity, such as bidding, reserve bidding or fixed price.
Usage wise if the user decides to purchase a virtual good by selecting “buy now” in the WAX widget and is presented with an authentication window.
If this is the first time he is interacting with the WAX Platform, he’ll be taken through an onboarding process that creates an identity, allocates a WAX Wallet, and allows him to fund the immediate purchase.
Tokens:
WAX Token is the native token of the WAX Platform, and supports all activities and functionality on the WAX Platform.
WAX Token is a platform utility medium that enables users to list items for sale, transact value between each other, settle the transfer of virtual goods, create and service contracts, and propose and vote for WAX
Virtual goods’ sales prices are listed in WAX Token; when a user wants to purchase the virtual good they pay with WAX Token. If the item is listed in a different currency the WAX Token must be converted by the listing agent at the current exchange rate at time of purchase.
Availability and price:
WAX is listed on several significant exchanges with the main ones being:
Bittrex (35% of volume), Huobi (32%), Upbit (25%), Ethfinex (4%), Kucoin (2%)
BTC is the most popular pairing but also paired with ETH, USD, Tether, BNTCurrent price as of 26th of April is around $0.35 with WAX being ranked on 87th place in terms of the market capitalisation and market cap of around $222M.
Around 622M out of 1.8B tokelns are currently in circulation meaning around 33% of tokens are already in circulation.
Other aspects
It is designed and developed by founders of OPSkins, the world’s leading marketplace for online video game assets. According to LinkedIn there are over 40+ employees in that team.
The WAX is already implemented on OPSkins and users who list things in WAX tokens get discounts on commision.
The upcoming developments include crypto collectibles marketplace in Q2 as well as listing, settlement and dispute resolution contracts in Q3.
WAX Beta planned at the end of 2018 with full platform at the beginning of 2019.
Team is very active on social media and different events.
My verdict
One of the few cryptocurrencies with actual real life application where users can recieve and pay in WAX tokens.
On the WAX platform the token will be the only mean of payment even if other currencies are used so there should be plenty of demand for the token.
Competition include Enjin (104M but different use case), Gameflip (not listed) and DMarket (29M but limited current application). WAX has huge advantage due to OPSkins connection.
With the current mcap of around 200M it's actually seems to be an interesting option and one of the safer safer from cryptocurrencies that aren't in top 50 especially considering at some point this project was valued at over 1B.

Centralized exchanges are great for making quick trades. They are also a great place for hackers to target. In addition to providing a place to trade cryptos, centralized exchanges also provide a place for their users to store their cryptocurrencies. Even though it’s been said time and again that using exchanges to store any cryptocurrency that you are fond of is not a good idea, still lots of people do it. This results in the popular exchanges becoming a honey pot for hackers to target. This has resulted in many people losing lots of money. Not because of the currency itself, but because the exchange had weak points that were taken advantage of. Go ahead and google Mt. Gox
and also more recently the Bitfinex hack.
Centralized exchanges are also subjected to governmental regulations and also the decisions made by those who run it. We are seeing this play out in China right now as the centralized exchanges there are now shutting down due to government regulations.
Enter decentralized exchanges. These are the exchanges that do not require a third party to store your funds, instead, you are always directly in control of your coins and you conduct transactions directly with whoever wants to buy or sell your coins. Decentralized exchanges also do not require you to give out your personal information. You can create an account and right away be able to start trading. However, one drawback for decentralized exchanges is the lack of liquidity compared to the more popular centralized exchanges. I think this will change over time as these centralized exchanges are forced into more strict regulations and as they pass these restraints on to their users, soon more people will seek out better options.Another great benefit of decentralized exchanges is their distributed nature, meaning their servers are spread out so that there is no risk of server downtime.
Here are some of the more popular decentralized exchanges
Bitshares asset exchange
Bitshares has a way of always slipping under the radar, but this platform has the best daily volume that has been around $6 million as of late. This asset exchange is a place to trade with both asset-pegged and fiat-pegged tokens.
Openledger is also on the bitshares blockchain and this is where you can trade a decent number of different cryptos. The daily volume on openledger is around $3million.
Etherdelta https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/etherdelta/ has a healthy daily volume that bounces around the $4 million mark. This exchange is based on the ethereum blockchain and is where you can find many of the erc20 tokens that have not yet been added to more popular exchanges. It certainly lives up to the hype of not being user friendly. In fact I made a video that specifically goes over how to use this one for those who could use some guidance I suggest checking that one out.
Counterparty is a decentralized exchange that uses the bitcoin blockchain and the counterparty protocol acts as a decentralized escrow service. The volume on counterparty leaves something to be desired I’m sure by it’s users with its daily volume hitting around $2,000.

Asset

In financial accounting, an asset is an economic resource. Anything tangible or intangible that can be owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).

The balance sheet of a firm records the monetary value of the assets owned by the firm. It is money and other valuables belonging to an individual or business. Two major asset classes are tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets contain various subclasses, including current assets and fixed assets. Current assets include inventory, while fixed assets include such items as buildings and equipment.

In January 2011, Palmer released her first mixtape Awaken. The mixtape was officially released on January 10, 2011, for downloads on mixtape-downloading websites. The first and only single released from the mixtape was "The One You Call". A music video was also released for the song. In July 2012, Palmer released the single "You Got Me" featuring Kevin McCall. The video for the single was released on July 11, 2012. Palmer released a self-titled mixtape Keke Palmer on October 1, 2012. It includes her new singles "You Got Me" & "Dance Alone" which have already been released. On May 16, 2013, Keke Palmer released a video showing her recording and performing a cover of Alicia Keys song "If I Ain't Got You".

Usage wise if the user decides to purchase a virtual good by selecting “buy now” in the WAX widget and is presented with an authentication window.
If this is the first time he is interacting with the WAX Platform, he’ll be taken through an onboarding process that creates an identity, allocates a WAX Wallet, and allows him to fund the immediate purchase.
Tokens:
WAX Token is the native token of the WAX Platform, and supports all activities and functionality on the WAX Platform.
WAX Token is a platform utility medium that enables users to list items for sale, transact value between each other, settle the transfer of virtual goods, create and service contracts, and propose and vote for WAX

What is BlockVest?
Blockvest is the use of blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, the use of smart contracts for digital assets to be self-managed, to achieve a “smart economy” with a distributed network.
Blockvest (BLV) is an ERC20 token based upon the Ethereum blockchain. Operating on the blockchain allows for global accessibility, 24/7 trading, transparency, public veriﬁcation of Blockvest’s holdings and no expensive legacy banking fees. Blockvest Nvestnodes generate passive income through asset backed profit sharing smart contracts. At it’s core, BLV is a utility token that’s representative of the top performing cryptocurrency index. The initial tokens can only be acquired during the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which is a one off, closed-cap offering. The tokens provided will represent a participant ’s share of the portfolio. Thirty percent of the total amount contributed during the offering will go directly towards buying the underlying index cryptocurrencies.
Blockchain Investments issues tokens built on a profit-sharing smart contract. The company is proud to introduce the Token-As-Fund business model, which allows investors to subscribe to the fund’s income stream. To monitor the current reserves of the fund and the fund’s value, a self-certification system is included so shareholders can monitor their investment at any time. Performing daily self-certification of funds in conjunction with monthly external audits will ensure transparency and trust between BLV fund managers and shareholders. Blockchain Investments offers multiple open-end investment funds also known as Digital Asset Arrays or Bespoke Blockpools.

Creating decentralized investment and crypto assets platform

Blokchain sets new trends in the investment sphere. The Nous project has created a blockchain-based platform that allows investors and investment funds for a reliable and transparent interaction. It is planned that due to the innovative approach the issues, such ascapital raising, transparency of exchange, decentralized and safe storage of assets will be solved. The project launched the pre-sale of NOUS tokens and it will last until December 25. Investors can purchase 8,000 NOUS tokens for 1 ETH. As experts note, the use of blockchain and cryptocurrency can change the financial market, help create a new investment niche - tokenized assets and use them in the work of investment funds.

The Best Of Decentralized Exchanges? Interview with Fabio from NEX.

The Best Of Decentralized Exchanges? Interview with Fabio from NEX.

The Best Of Decentralized Exchanges? Interview with Fabio from NEX.

Crypto has really exploded in the past couple years. Make no mistake: daily trading volume has grown from ~$60M in January 2015 to over ~$10B in March 2018. But even though the majority of crypto assets are built on top of decentralized architecture, the overwhelming majority of trades still take place on centralized entities. These centralized exchanges take full custody of assets to facilitate the process of exchanging assets between traders.
Given the enormous scale and frequency of hacks within centralized exchanges, people have taken interest in the potential of decentralized exchanges to address rampant security issues. The most significant problem that decentralized exchanges purport to solve is removing the "counter-party risk" of 3rd parties maintaining custodianship of a traders tokens. This may come at the cost of lower liquidity and trading capabilities.
One pivotal question: is it possible to build an exchange with the liquidity of a centralized exchange, but the security benefits of a decentralized exchanged?
I had the chance to catch up with Fabio, founder of City of Zion, to discuss his new project NEX (NeonExchange). NEX aims to combine the performance of centralized exchanges with the trust and security properties of decentralized exchanges.

TOP 5 DECENTRALIZED CRYPTO EXCHANGES DEX?

Lets examine the top decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges according to popularity and trading volume.
"The moment we start using these centralized exchanges, they become the custodians of our funds, and we are no longer in charge. Centralized exchanges are exchanges that don’t allow users to control the private keys of their crypto funds, and instead, they keep those keys in a centralized server or database. This way of working opens up the possibilities of single points of failures and hacks by malicious actors." - Why Are Decentralized Exchanges The Future Of Cryptocurrencies? https://coinsutra.com/decentralized-exchange-cryptocurrency/
TOP 5 DECENTRALIZED CRYPTO EXCHANGES DEX?
1 Bitshares BTS and OpenLedger
https://wallet.bitshares.org/?r=champagne-crypto
Arguably the best and most popular DEX. BitShares 2.0 is a Financial Smart Contracts platform that enables trading of digital assets and has market-pegged assets that track the value of their underlying asset. OpenLedger Dex leverages BitShare’s graphene technology.

Overview: WAX (WAX) the Global Decentralized Marketplace for Virtual Assets. Should you invest?
Overview:
WAX is a decentralized platform that enables anyone to operate a fully functioning virtual marketplace with zero investment in security, infrastructure, or payment processing.
The aim of the WAX Platform as a virtual goods marketplace is to decentralize exchanges while allowing users to purchase goods with a global token making the entire process faster, easier and safer for everyone.
They ran ICO in November when they raised a very significant amount of over $68 million.
Usage:
WAX enables store owners to operate their own virtual item marketplace and can support a variety of selling structures to maximize liquidity, such as bidding, reserve bidding or fixed price.
Usage wise if the user decides to purchase a virtual good by selecting “buy now” in the WAX widget and is presented with an authentication window.
If this is the first time he is interacting with the WAX Platform, he’ll be taken through an onboarding process that creates an identity, allocates a WAX Wallet, and allows him to fund the immediate purchase.
Tokens:
WAX Token is the native token of the WAX Platform, and supports all activities and functionality on the WAX Platform.
WAX Token is a platform utility medium that enables users to list items for sale, transact value between each other, settle the transfer of virtual goods, create and service contracts, and propose and vote for WAX
Virtual goods’ sales prices are listed in WAX Token; when a user wants to purchase the virtual good they pay with WAX Token. If the item is listed in a different currency the WAX Token must be converted by the listing agent at the current exchange rate at time of purchase.
Availability and price:
WAX is listed on several significant exchanges with the main ones being:
Bittrex (35% of volume), Huobi (32%), Upbit (25%), Ethfinex (4%), Kucoin (2%)
BTC is the most popular pairing but also paired with ETH, USD, Tether, BNTCurrent price as of 26th of April is around $0.35 with WAX being ranked on 87th place in terms of the market capitalisation and market cap of around $222M.
Around 622M out of 1.8B tokelns are currently in circulation meaning around 33% of tokens are already in circulation.
Other aspects
It is designed and developed by founders of OPSkins, the world’s leading marketplace for online video game assets. According to LinkedIn there are over 40+ employees in that team.
The WAX is already implemented on OPSkins and users who list things in WAX tokens get discounts on commision.
The upcoming developments include crypto collectibles marketplace in Q2 as well as listing, settlement and dispute resolution contracts in Q3.
WAX Beta planned at the end of 2018 with full platform at the beginning of 2019.
Team is very active on social media and different events.
My verdict
One of the few cryptocurrencies with actual real life application where users can recieve and pay in WAX tokens.
On the WAX platform the token will be the only mean of payment even if other currencies are used so there should be plenty of demand for the token.
Competition include Enjin (104M but different use case), Gameflip (not listed) and DMarket (29M but limited current application). WAX has huge advantage due to OPSkins connection.
With the current mcap of around 200M it's actually seems to be an interesting option and one of the safer safer from cryptocurrencies that aren't in top 50 especially considering at some point this project was valued at over 1B.

Centralized exchanges are great for making quick trades. They are also a great place for hackers to target. In addition to providing a place to trade cryptos, centralized exchanges also provide a place for their users to store their cryptocurrencies. Even though it’s been said time and again that using exchanges to store any cryptocurrency that you are fond of is not a good idea, still lots of people do it. This results in the popular exchanges becoming a honey pot for hackers to target. This has resulted in many people losing lots of money. Not because of the currency itself, but because the exchange had weak points that were taken advantage of. Go ahead and google Mt. Gox
and also more recently the Bitfinex hack.
Centralized exchanges are also subjected to governmental regulations and also the decisions made by those who run it. We are seeing this play out in China right now as the centralized exchanges there are now shutting down due to government regulations.
Enter decentralized exchanges. These are the exchanges that do not require a third party to store your funds, instead, you are always directly in control of your coins and you conduct transactions directly with whoever wants to buy or sell your coins. Decentralized exchanges also do not require you to give out your personal information. You can create an account and right away be able to start trading. However, one drawback for decentralized exchanges is the lack of liquidity compared to the more popular centralized exchanges. I think this will change over time as these centralized exchanges are forced into more strict regulations and as they pass these restraints on to their users, soon more people will seek out better options.Another great benefit of decentralized exchanges is their distributed nature, meaning their servers are spread out so that there is no risk of server downtime.
Here are some of the more popular decentralized exchanges
Bitshares asset exchange
Bitshares has a way of always slipping under the radar, but this platform has the best daily volume that has been around $6 million as of late. This asset exchange is a place to trade with both asset-pegged and fiat-pegged tokens.
Openledger is also on the bitshares blockchain and this is where you can trade a decent number of different cryptos. The daily volume on openledger is around $3million.
Etherdelta https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/etherdelta/ has a healthy daily volume that bounces around the $4 million mark. This exchange is based on the ethereum blockchain and is where you can find many of the erc20 tokens that have not yet been added to more popular exchanges. It certainly lives up to the hype of not being user friendly. In fact I made a video that specifically goes over how to use this one for those who could use some guidance I suggest checking that one out.
Counterparty is a decentralized exchange that uses the bitcoin blockchain and the counterparty protocol acts as a decentralized escrow service. The volume on counterparty leaves something to be desired I’m sure by it’s users with its daily volume hitting around $2,000.

BrahmaOS (BRM) - is building a decentralized OS that sits as sort of a virtual machine layer on top of Android. It will be focusing on 5 main things:
DataPrivacy
Accessible NetworkCommunication
Decentralized StorageManagement Of Cryptographic Assets
Autonomous Economic System
I think this coin has tons of potential in 2018 and may even moonshot, but maybe not till Q3 when the wallet gets released.

Disclaimer: Nothing I say in this video should constitute official investment advice. Please do your own research before making a decision to buy any particular coins. Some of my videos are sponsored, but I am not directly involved with any of the projects.
WandX is an ICO coming out of India building an infrastructure for decentralized crypto assets. This is similar to other decentralized exchanges such as 0x, EtherDelta, and Kyber but with a slightly different approach. They are first focused on their beta product - Olio -
which will allow for trading of "baskets" of ERC20 tokens. This means you can trade for several different tokens at the same time with a single transaction. They also have other financial instruments and features coming later. Please take a look at let me know if you have any questions?

Uber decentralized the taxi cab industry, AirBnB decentralized the hotel industry, Blockvest will decentralize the financial services industry.
What is BlockVest?
Blockvest is the use of blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, the use of smart contracts for digital assets to be self-managed, to achieve a “smart economy” with a distributed network.
Blockvest (BLV) is an ERC20 token based upon the Ethereum blockchain. Operating on the blockchain allows for global accessibility, 24/7 trading, transparency, public veriﬁcation of Blockvest’s holdings and no expensive legacy banking fees. Blockvest Nvestnodes generate passive income through asset backed profit sharing smart contracts. At it’s core, BLV is a utility token that’s representative of the top performing cryptocurrency index. The initial tokens can only be acquired during the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which is a one off, closed-cap offering. The tokens provided will represent a participant ’s share of the portfolio. Thirty percent of the total amount contributed during the offering will go directly towards buying the underlying index cryptocurrencies.
Blockchain Investments issues tokens built on a profit-sharing smart contract. The company is proud to introduce the Token-As-Fund business model, which allows investors to subscribe to the fund’s income stream. To monitor the current reserves of the fund and the fund’s value, a self-certification system is included so shareholders can monitor their investment at any time. Performing daily self-certification of funds in conjunction with monthly external audits will ensure transparency and trust between BLV fund managers and shareholders. Blockchain Investments offers multiple open-end investment funds also known as Digital Asset Arrays or Bespoke Blockpools.

Blokchain sets new trends in the investment sphere. The Nous project has created a blockchain-based platform that allows investors and investment funds for a reliable and transparent interaction. It is planned that due to the innovative approach the issues, such ascapital raising, transparency of exchange, decentralized and safe storage of assets will be solved. The project launched the pre-sale of NOUS tokens and it will last until December 25. Investors can purchase 8,000 NOUS tokens for 1 ETH. As experts note, the use of blockchain and cryptocurrency can change the financial market, help create a new investment niche - tokenized assets and use them in the work of investment funds.

The Best Of Decentralized Exchanges? Interview with Fabio from NEX.

Crypto has really exploded in the past couple years. Make no mistake: daily trading volume has grown from ~$60M in January 2015 to over ~$10B in March 2018. But even though the majority of crypto assets are built on top of decentralized architecture, the overwhelming majority of trades still take place on centralized entities. These centralized exchanges take full custody of assets to facilitate the process of exchanging assets between traders.
Given the enormous scale and frequency of hacks within centralized exchanges, people have taken interest in the potential of decentralized exchanges to address rampant security issues. The most significant problem that decentralized exchanges purport to solve is removing the "counter-party risk" of 3rd parties maintaining custodianship of a traders tokens. This may come at the cost of lower liquidity and trading capabilities.
One pivotal question: is it possible to build an exchange with the liquidity of a centralized exchange, but the security benefits of a decentralized exchanged?
I had the chance to catch up with Fabio, founder of City of Zion, to discuss his new project NEX (NeonExchange). NEX aims to combine the performance of centralized exchanges with the trust and security properties of decentralized exchanges.

Lets examine the top decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges according to popularity and trading volume.
"The moment we start using these centralized exchanges, they become the custodians of our funds, and we are no longer in charge. Centralized exchanges are exchanges that don’t allow users to control the private keys of their crypto funds, and instead, they keep those keys in a centralized server or database. This way of working opens up the possibilities of single points of failures and hacks by malicious actors." - Why Are Decentralized Exchanges The Future Of Cryptocurrencies? https://coinsutra.com/decentralized-exchange-cryptocurrency/
TOP 5 DECENTRALIZED CRYPTO EXCHANGES DEX?
1 Bitshares BTS and OpenLedger
https://wallet.bitshares.org/?r=champagne-crypto
Arguably the best and most popular DEX. BitShares 2.0 is a Financial Smart Contracts platform that enables trading of digital assets and has market-pegged assets that track the value of their underlying asset. OpenLedger Dex leverages BitShare’s graphene technology.
2 WAVESPlatform
https://wavesplatform.com/product/dex
Waves' decentralised exchange (DEX) allows users to trade Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, ZCash and other cryptocurrencies, as well as fiat currencies such as USD, EURO
3 CryptoBridge BCO
https://crypto-bridge.org/
CryptoBridge is a decentralized exchange running on top of the BitShares Network. It has native BCO token called as BridgeCoin and allows BCO token staking and 50% revenue share with BCO HODlers.
4 IDEX
https://idex.market/
IDEX is a decentralized exchange for trading Ethereum (ERC-20) tokens. Some claim IDEX to be the best alternative to EtherDelta.
5 Bisq aka Bitsquare
https://bisq.network/
A peer-to-peer marketplace and a fully decentralized exchange which requires no name, email ID or verification. It uses Tor to ensure anonymity and doesn’t hold fiat or bitcoins on their servers.

My Bankex ICO review! In my video I discuss what the Bankex ICO is, what Proof of Asset protocol is and how it works. As an investor, how can you benefit from being involved and what is the potential for this project?
I made a mistake in the vid, should have said 1 ETH = 500 PBKX and 1 PBKX = 0.002 ETH at the moment it works out at just under $1 per token (ETH was $490 at the time).

Zen Protocol ICO Review - A DECENTRALIZED FINANCIAL SYSTEM

In this video, I review Zen Protocol's upcoming initial coin offering.
In my point of view, I am going to pass this ICO. They have a high cap value and I think their could be stronger.
Its my personal opinion, I am not giving biased recommendations. I am not a financial adviser. Discuss with your advisers before investing in ICOs.

Zen Protocol gives you control over your own financial assets.
It’s a trading floor, a broker, and a tool for making new instruments, all on a parallel blockchain that connects to Bitcoin.

Although running on the Ethereum network, Kyber Network’s roadmap includes supporting cross-chain trades between different cryptocurrencies using relays and future protocols like Polkadot and Cosmos. Ethereum accounts will be able to safely receive payment from Bitcoin, ZCash and other cryptocurrencies via our payment APIs, through this trustless payment service.
Derivatives will be introduced to mitigate the exposure to the risk of volatilities for the users of Kyber Network Crystals (KNC) and selected cryptocurrencies. This will allow users to participate in the price movements synthetically.

Co-Founder Victor Ye chats with BlockchainBrad about his Decentralized AI-powered TrustAlliance. DATA is a blockchain based digital data authentication protocol powered by AI & P2P mobile storage infrastructure. The team has built a DATA technology stack composed of four layers and its core feature is fraud detection and prevention.
DATA aims to solve the following:
1) Limitation of Centralized Internet Advertising BureauThe middle layer grows in size, creating loopholes for bad players that manipulate the system for the gain.
2) Severe Ad Fraud
More than 40% of online ads traffic is bot traffic, which costs advertisers $16 billion annually.
3) Monetization and User ExperienceDilemma
Users rarely get rewarded from ads, which drives 600 million devices to use ad blocking, hence decrease efficiency of the ecosystem.
1) How DATA aims to solve these problems:
Ad Flow
from advertisers/ad networks/DSPs to publishers/developers and then to end users.
2)Data Flow
from user device to P2P based mobile storage (M³). SDK protocol transforms individual devices into nodes of M³.
3) Token Flow
from DATA network to users, publishers/developers and DATA nodes. DATA network validates data and issues tokens to relevant contributors.

PyData Berlin 2016
This talk describes BigchainDB. BigchainDB fills a gap in the decentralization ecosystem: a decentralized database, at scale. It has big-data performance levels, a querying system, and a permissioning system that supports public and private versions. It's complementary to decentralized processing platforms like Ethereum, and decentralized file systems like IPFS. BigchainDB is written in Python.
This talk describes BigchainDB. BigchainDB fills a gap in the decentralization ecosystem: a decentralized database, at scale. It points to performance of 1 million writes per second throughput, storing petabytes of data, and sub-second latency.
The BigchainDB design starts with a distributed database (DB), and through a set of innovations adds blockchain characteristics: decentralized control, immutability, and creation & movement of digital assets. BigchainDB inherits characteristics of modern distributed databases: linear scaling in throughput and capacity with the number of nodes, a full-featured NoSQL query language, efficient querying, and permissioning. Being built on an existing distributed DB, it also inherits enterprise-hardened code for most of its codebase.
Scalable capacity means that legally binding con- tracts and certificates may be stored directly on the blockchain database. The permissioning system enables configurations ranging from private enterprise blockchain databases to open, public blockchain databases. BigchainDB is complementary to decentralized processing platforms like Ethereum, and decentralized file systems like InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
This talk describes technology perspectives that led to the BigchainDB design: traditional blockchains, distributed databases, and a case study of the domain name system (DNS). We introduce a concept called blockchain pipelining, which is key to scalability when adding blockchainlike characteristics to the distributed DB. We present a thorough description of BigchainDB, a detailed analysis of latency, and experimental results. The talk concludes with a description of use cases.

Cryptoassets : The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond
​
​
THE INNOVATIVE INVESTOR’S GUIDE TO AN ENTIRELY NEWASSETCLASS—FROM TWO EXPERTS ON THE CUTTING EDGE
With the rise of bitcoin and blockchain technology, investors can capitalize on the greatest investment opportunity since the Internet. Bitcoin was the first cryptoasset, but today there are over 800 and counting, including ether, ripple, litecoin, monero, and more. This clear, concise, and accessible guide from two industry insiders shows you how to navigate this brave new blockchain world—and how to invest in these emerging assets to secure your financial future.
Cryptoassets gives you all the tools you need:
An actionable framework for investigating and valuing cryptoassets
Portfolio management techniques to maximize returns while managing risk
Historical context and tips to navigate inevitable bubbles and manias
Practical guides to exchanges, wallets, capital market vehicles, and ICOs
Predictions on how blockchain technology may disrupt current portfolios
In addition to offering smart investment strategies, this authoritative resource will help you understand how these assets were created, how they work, and how they are evolving amid the blockchain revolution. The authors define a clear and original cryptoasset taxonomy, composed of cryptocurrencies, cryptocommodities, and cryptotokens, with insights into how each subset is blending technology and markets.
You’ll find a variety of methods to invest in these assets, whether through global exchanges that trade 24/7 or initial cryptoasset offerings (ICOs). By sequentially building on the concepts of each prior chapter, the book will provide you with a full understanding of the cryptoasset economy and the opportunities that await the innovative investor.
Cryptoassets represent the future of money and markets. This book is your guide to that future.

I will be honest and say that this was not going to be today's review and that I had something else lined up, but I started looking at the material and just go myself hooked, so I decided to review Essentia and strike while the iron was hot. It's pretty hot... still. I think I might have uncovered a wee gem here, almost by accident too! Essential is a framework built on the Ethereum blockchain for decentralised data, identity and asset management, and it has some interesting features that allow the user, be they an individual or a business, complete control over their data and with some attractive and competitive advantages over its rivals.

Today we explore Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs -- blockchain algorithms with the potential to perform the entire functionality of corporations or government agencies... without a single employee.
Our guest today is IsmailMalik, a pioneer in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, pushing the concept even further to what he believes will more accurately be Decentralized Autonomous Organisms -- where the blockchain algorithms’ behaviors go beyond that of an organization into the realm of a dynamic, learning, growing entity that behaves organically.
Ismail is the CEO of Blockchain Lab, which specializes in the most ambitious and hardest Blockchain concept implementations. He is also the Editor-In-Chief of “ICO Crowd” Magazine and a thought leader in ICOs, or Initial Coin Offerings.
We cover ambitious and massively disruptive uses of Blockchains, then we discuss what ICOs are, dispel common misconceptions, and examine where they are most effective.

Ismail is the CEO of Blockchain Lab, which specializes in the most ambitious and hardest Blockchain concept implementations. He is also the Editor-In-Chief of “ICO Crowd” Magazine and a thought leader in ICOs, or Initial Coin Offerings.
We cover ambitious and massively disruptive uses of Blockchains, then we discuss what ICOs are, dispel common misconceptions, and examine where they are most effective.

Overview: WAX (WAX) the Global Decentralized Marketplace for Virtual Assets. Should you invest?

Overview: WAX (WAX) the Global Decentralized Marketplace for Virtual Assets. Should you invest?
Overview:
WAX is a decentralized platform that enables anyone to operate a fully functioning virtual marketplace with zero investment in security, infrastructure, or payment processing.
The aim of the WAX Platform as a virtual goods marketplace is to decentralize exchanges while allowing users to purchase goods with a global token making the entire process faster, easier and safer for everyone.
They ran ICO in November when they raised a very significant amount of over $68 million.
Usage:
WAX enables store owners to operate their own virtual item marketplace and can support a variety of selling structures to maximize liquidity, such as bidding, reserve bidding or fixed price.
Usage wise if the user decides to purchase a virtual good by selecting “buy now” in the WAX widget and is presented with an authentication window.
If this is the first time he is interacting with the WAX Platform, he’ll be taken through an onboarding process that creates an identity, allocates a WAX Wallet, and allows him to fund the immediate purchase.
Tokens:
WAX Token is the native token of the WAX Platform, and supports all activities and functionality on the WAX Platform.
WAX Token is a platform utility medium that enables users to list items for sale, transact value between each other, settle the transfer of virtual goods, create and service contracts, and propose and vote for WAX
Virtual goods’ sales prices are listed in WAX Token; when a user wants to purchase the virtual good they pay with WAX Token. If the item is listed in a different currency the WAX Token must be converted by the listing agent at the current exchange rate at time of purchase.
Availability and price:
WAX is listed on several significant exchanges with the main ones being:
Bittrex (35% of volume), Huobi (32%), Upbit (25%), Ethfinex (4%), Kucoin (2%)
BTC is the most popular pairing but also paired with ETH, USD, Tether, BNTCurrent price as of 26th of April is around $0.35 with WAX being ranked on 87th place in terms of the market capitalisation and market cap of around $222M.
Around 622M out of 1.8B tokelns are currently in circulation meaning around 33% of tokens are already in circulation.
Other aspects
It is designed and developed by founders of OPSkins, the world’s leading marketplace for online video game assets. According to LinkedIn there are over 40+ employees in that team.
The WAX is already implemented on OPSkins and users who list things in WAX tokens get discounts on commision.
The upcoming developments include crypto collectibles marketplace in Q2 as well as listing, settlement and dispute resolution contracts in Q3.
WAX Beta planned at the end of 2018 with full platform at the beginning of 2019.
Team is very active on social media and different events.
My verdict
One of the few cryptocurrencies with actual real life application where users can recieve and pay in WAX tokens.
On the WAX platform the token will be the only mean of payment even if other currencies are used so there should be plenty of demand for the token.
Competition include Enjin (104M but different use case), Gameflip (not listed) and DMarket (29M but limited current application). WAX has huge advantage due to OPSkins connection.
With the current mcap of around 200M it's actually seems to be an interesting option and one of the safer safer from cryptocurrencies that aren't in top 50 especially considering at some point this project was valued at over 1B.

Centralized exchanges are great for making quick trades. They are also a great place for hackers to target. In addition to providing a place to trade cryptos, centralized exchanges also provide a place for their users to store their cryptocurrencies. Even though it’s been said time and again that using exchanges to store any cryptocurrency that you are fond of is not a good idea, still lots of people do it. This results in the popular exchanges becoming a honey pot for hackers to target. This has resulted in many people losing lots of money. Not because of the currency itself, but because the exchange had weak points that were taken advantage of. Go ahead and google Mt. Gox
and also more recently the Bitfinex hack.
Centralized exchanges are also subjected to governmental regulations and also the decisions made by those who run it. We are seeing this play out in China right now as the centralized exchanges there are now shutting down due to government regulations.
Enter decentralized exchanges. These are the exchanges that do not require a third party to store your funds, instead, you are always directly in control of your coins and you conduct transactions directly with whoever wants to buy or sell your coins. Decentralized exchanges also do not require you to give out your personal information. You can create an account and right away be able to start trading. However, one drawback for decentralized exchanges is the lack of liquidity compared to the more popular centralized exchanges. I think this will change over time as these centralized exchanges are forced into more strict regulations and as they pass these restraints on to their users, soon more people will seek out better options.Another great benefit of decentralized exchanges is their distributed nature, meaning their servers are spread out so that there is no risk of server downtime.
Here are some of the more popular decentralized exchanges
Bitshares asset exchange
Bitshares has a way of always slipping under the radar, but this platform has the best daily volume that has been around $6 million as of late. This asset exchange is a place to trade with both asset-pegged and fiat-pegged tokens.
Openledger is also on the bitshares blockchain and this is where you can trade a decent number of different cryptos. The daily volume on openledger is around $3million.
Etherdelta https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/etherdelta/ has a healthy daily volume that bounces around the $4 million mark. This exchange is based on the ethereum blockchain and is where you can find many of the erc20 tokens that have not yet been added to more popular exchanges. It certainly lives up to the hype of not being user friendly. In fact I made a video that specifically goes over how to use this one for those who could use some guidance I suggest checking that one out.
Counterparty is a decentralized exchange that uses the bitcoin blockchain and the counterparty protocol acts as a decentralized escrow service. The volume on counterparty leaves something to be desired I’m sure by it’s users with its daily volume hitting around $2,000.

BrahmaOS (BRM) - Decentralized OS With Very Strong Potential!

BrahmaOS (BRM) - is building a decentralized OS that sits as sort of a virtual machine layer on top of Android. It will be focusing on 5 main things:
DataPrivacy
Accessible NetworkCommunication
Decentralized StorageManagement Of Cryptographic Assets
Autonomous Economic System
I think this coin has tons of potential in 2018 and may even moonshot, but maybe not till Q3 when the wallet gets released.

Disclaimer: Nothing I say in this video should constitute official investment advice. Please do your own research before making a decision to buy any particular coins. Some of my videos are sponsored, but I am not directly involved with any of the projects.
WandX is an ICO coming out of India building an infrastructure for decentralized crypto assets. This is similar to other decentralized exchanges such as 0x, EtherDelta, and Kyber but with a slightly different approach. They are first focused on their beta product - Olio -
which will allow for trading of "baskets" of ERC20 tokens. This means you can trade for several different tokens at the same time with a single transaction. They also have other financial instruments and features coming later. Please take a look at let me know if you have any questions?

Uber decentralized the taxi cab industry, AirBnB decentralized the hotel industry, Blockvest will decentralize the financial services industry.
What is BlockVest?
Blockvest is the use of blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, the use of smart contracts for digital assets to be self-managed, to achieve a “smart economy” with a distributed network.
Blockvest (BLV) is an ERC20 token based upon the Ethereum blockchain. Operating on the blockchain allows for global accessibility, 24/7 trading, transparency, public veriﬁcation of Blockvest’s holdings and no expensive legacy banking fees. Blockvest Nvestnodes generate passive income through asset backed profit sharing smart contracts. At it’s core, BLV is a utility token that’s representative of the top performing cryptocurrency index. The initial tokens can only be acquired during the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which is a one off, closed-cap offering. The tokens provided will represent a participant ’s share of the portfolio. Thirty percent of the total amount contributed during the offering will go directly towards buying the underlying index cryptocurrencies.
Blockchain Investments issues tokens built on a profit-sharing smart contract. The company is proud to introduce the Token-As-Fund business model, which allows investors to subscribe to the fund’s income stream. To monitor the current reserves of the fund and the fund’s value, a self-certification system is included so shareholders can monitor their investment at any time. Performing daily self-certification of funds in conjunction with monthly external audits will ensure transparency and trust between BLV fund managers and shareholders. Blockchain Investments offers multiple open-end investment funds also known as Digital Asset Arrays or Bespoke Blockpools.

Asset

In financial accounting, an asset is an economic resource. Anything tangible or intangible that can be owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).

The balance sheet of a firm records the monetary value of the assets owned by the firm. It is money and other valuables belonging to an individual or business. Two major asset classes are tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets contain various subclasses, including current assets and fixed assets. Current assets include inventory, while fixed assets include such items as buildings and equipment.

My Bankex ICO review! In my video I discuss what the Bankex ICO is, what Proof of Asset protocol is and how it works. As an investor, how can you benefit from being involved and what is the potential for this project?
I made a mistake in the vid, should have said 1 ETH = 500 PBKX and 1 PBKX = 0.002 ETH at the moment it works out at just under $1 per token (ETH was $490 at the time).
BANKEX Proof-of-Asset protocol (PoA) is a standard that enables a new generation of assets and contracts creating Decentralized capital markets.

Kyber Network ICO Review - Decentralized Exchange and Payment Service

In this video, I review Kyber Networks's upcoming initial coin offering.
I give Kyber Network a perfect score of 100% on version one of my spreadsheet.
Kyber Network, an on-chain protocol which allows instant exchange and conversion of digital assets (e.g. crypto tokens) and cryptocurrencies (e.g. Ether, Bitcoin, ZCash) with high liquidity. KyberNetwork will be the first system that implements several ideal operating properties of an exchange including trustless, decentralized execution, instant trade, and high liquidity. Besides serving as an exchange, Kyber Network also provides payment APIs that will allow Ethereum accounts to easily receive payments from any crypto tokens. As an example, any merchant can now use KyberNetwork APIs to allow users to pay in any crypto tokens, but the merchant will receive payments in Ether (ETH) or other preferred tokens.
Although running on the Ethereum network, Kyber Network’s roadmap includes supporting cross-chain trades between different cryptocurrencies using relays and future protocols like Polkadot and Cosmos. Ethereum accounts will be able to safely receive payment from Bitcoin, ZCash and other cryptocurrencies via our payment APIs, through this trustless payment service.
Derivatives will be introduced to mitigate the exposure to the risk of volatilities for the users of Kyber Network Crystals (KNC) and selected cryptocurrencies. This will allow users to participate in the price movements synthetically.

Co-Founder Victor Ye chats with BlockchainBrad about his Decentralized AI-powered TrustAlliance. DATA is a blockchain based digital data authentication protocol powered by AI & P2P mobile storage infrastructure. The team has built a DATA technology stack composed of four layers and its core feature is fraud detection and prevention.
DATA aims to solve the following:
1) Limitation of Centralized Internet Advertising BureauThe middle layer grows in size, creating loopholes for bad players that manipulate the system for the gain.
2) Severe Ad Fraud
More than 40% of online ads traffic is bot traffic, which costs advertisers $16 billion annually.
3) Monetization and User ExperienceDilemma
Users rarely get rewarded from ads, which drives 600 million devices to use ad blocking, hence decrease efficiency of the ecosystem.
1) How DATA aims to solve these problems:
Ad Flow
from advertisers/ad networks/DSPs to publishers/developers and then to end users.
2)Data Flow
from user device to P2P based mobile storage (M³). SDK protocol transforms individual devices into nodes of M³.
3) Token Flow
from DATA network to users, publishers/developers and DATA nodes. DATA network validates data and issues tokens to relevant contributors.

This talk describes BigchainDB. BigchainDB fills a gap in the decentralization ecosystem: a decentralized database, at scale. It has big-data performance levels, a querying system, and a permissioning system that supports public and private versions. It's complementary to decentralized processing platforms like Ethereum, and decentralized file systems like IPFS. BigchainDB is written in Python.
This talk describes BigchainDB. BigchainDB fills a gap in the decentralization ecosystem: a decentralized database, at scale. It points to performance of 1 million writes per second throughput, storing petabytes of data, and sub-second latency.
The BigchainDB design starts with a distributed database (DB), and through a set of innovations adds blockchain characteristics: decentralized control, immutability, and creation & movement of digital assets. BigchainDB inherits characteristics of modern distributed databases: linear scaling in throughput and capacity with the number of nodes, a full-featured NoSQL query language, efficient querying, and permissioning. Being built on an existing distributed DB, it also inherits enterprise-hardened code for most of its codebase.
Scalable capacity means that legally binding con- tracts and certificates may be stored directly on the blockchain database. The permissioning system enables configurations ranging from private enterprise blockchain databases to open, public blockchain databases. BigchainDB is complementary to decentralized processing platforms like Ethereum, and decentralized file systems like InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
This talk describes technology perspectives that led to the BigchainDB design: traditional blockchains, distributed databases, and a case study of the domain name system (DNS). We introduce a concept called blockchain pipelining, which is key to scalability when adding blockchainlike characteristics to the distributed DB. We present a thorough description of BigchainDB, a detailed analysis of latency, and experimental results. The talk concludes with a description of use cases.

Cryptoassets : The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond
​
​
THE INNOVATIVE INVESTOR’S GUIDE TO AN ENTIRELY NEWASSETCLASS—FROM TWO EXPERTS ON THE CUTTING EDGE
With the rise of bitcoin and blockchain technology, investors can capitalize on the greatest investment opportunity since the Internet. Bitcoin was the first cryptoasset, but today there are over 800 and counting, including ether, ripple, litecoin, monero, and more. This clear, concise, and accessible guide from two industry insiders shows you how to navigate this brave new blockchain world—and how to invest in these emerging assets to secure your financial future.
Cryptoassets gives you all the tools you need:
An actionable framework for investigating and valuing cryptoassets
Portfolio management techniques to maximize returns while managing risk
Historical context and tips to navigate inevitable bubbles and manias
Practical guides to exchanges, wallets, capital market vehicles, and ICOs
Predictions on how blockchain technology may disrupt current portfolios
In addition to offering smart investment strategies, this authoritative resource will help you understand how these assets were created, how they work, and how they are evolving amid the blockchain revolution. The authors define a clear and original cryptoasset taxonomy, composed of cryptocurrencies, cryptocommodities, and cryptotokens, with insights into how each subset is blending technology and markets.
You’ll find a variety of methods to invest in these assets, whether through global exchanges that trade 24/7 or initial cryptoasset offerings (ICOs). By sequentially building on the concepts of each prior chapter, the book will provide you with a full understanding of the cryptoasset economy and the opportunities that await the innovative investor.
Cryptoassets represent the future of money and markets. This book is your guide to that future.

Hopefully the audio is now sorted for this video and loud enough so you can hear me!
I will be honest and say that this was not going to be today's review and that I had something else lined up, but I started looking at the material and just go myself hooked, so I decided to review Essentia and strike while the iron was hot. It's pretty hot... still. I think I might have uncovered a wee gem here, almost by accident too! Essential is a framework built on the Ethereum blockchain for decentralised data, identity and asset management, and it has some interesting features that allow the user, be they an individual or a business, complete control over their data and with some attractive and competitive advantages over its rivals.
